[Lavalibrary] Library notes for 2/22/07

[banana]

Hey yall, all of this sounds good.

I can staff on Wednesday the 28th from 6.30 to 9, btw, but i'll just write
that up when I'm in on Wednesday...

Oh, I was thinking -- what if for the LAVA event on the 12th there was a
zine reading with writers who are currently making stuff? I bet we all
know a few -- or maybe we are one... what do folks think?

>> Librarything.com:
>>
>> Cynthia is interested in helping the cataloguing effort by means of a
>> new
>> internet database called librarything.com.  She is well versed in the
>> ways
>> of librarianship as she holds a technical organizing position with
>> palinet.com.
>>
>> She has a friend who may be able to donate their computer so we can use
>> that solely for organizational purposes.  She will pick that up for us
>> when she works out the details.
>>
>> As for librarything.com, it is a way to catalogue your books by title,
>> author, date, tags, and rating.  You can do this by simply typing in the
>> ISBN and it is self explanatory from there.  It is even possible to
>> purchase a bar code scanner for $20 to expedite the process.
>>
>> The books are then made searchable on the entire website to make it
>> easier
>> to share books with others who have compiled their own catalogue.  You
>> can
>> even search the Library of Congress and over 70 other public libraries.
>>
>> We have already set up a free account, which is capable of holding the
>> information for 200 books.  If you care to check it out go to
>> librarything.com and type in the username lava, and the password
>> library.
>>
>> Outreach:
>>
>> Dave is going to design the bookmark and send it to Steven.  Steven will
>> then talk with George at CSP (Lancaster and Spring Garden) about
>> discounted (maybe free) production!
>>
>> Event:
>>
>> There is a LAVA-wide event happening on May 12th, tentatively.  This
>> will
>> be a time for all the groups under LAVA’s roof to come together and do
>> what we do best. What ideas do you have?  Some suggestions include
>> having
>> a reading group, forum, or presentation on autonomous spaces.  We can
>> have
>> a book sale, or a book reading.  Lend us your ideas.
>>
>> Workday:
>>
>> We decided to have our next workday on Sunday March 11th.
>> Things to do that day include:
>> Priming the shelves in preparation for the Graffiti Crew.
>> Organize lot of new video donations.
>>
>> In the meantime, not necessarily the workday, Kat will be organizing the
>> zines.  She wouldn’t mind help, so give her a call if you have some free
>> time.
>>
>> Mission Statement:
>> Kat is writing one up; let’s have some discussion on this once she
>> shares
>> it with us!
